The best corn mazes in Los Angeles

Every October, Underwood Family Farms’ Moorpark location becomes an autumnal wonderland as it celebrates its annual Fall Harvest Festival with different events every weekend ranging, from Wild West Weekend to Antique Tractor Weekend. For the entire month, guests can come and be entertained by festive amusements, a seemingly endless amount of pumpkins and a two-acre corn maze. The maze is open daily September 28 through October 31. Parking is free, though you’ll need to buy a ticket in advance on weekends; you can check the site for more details.

Sept 28–Oct 31: daily 9am–6pm; weekdays $14, weekends $22–$28, children under two free.

Add another level of difficulty to your winding journey by looking for the hidden riddles or “CORNundrums” along the way. Find all 12 to be entered to win a prize. Everything is cash only, so plan accordingly. The maze is open daily during most of October. Check the site for more details.

With more than 11 acres of corn, Big Horse Corn Maze just might be the biggest in all of SoCal. For more than a decade, people have been coming from all over to explore their intricately and—when viewed from the air—patriotically designed labyrinths. This year’s info is still to come, but the Temecula maze is usually open from Tuesday to Sunday; the attraction typically coincides with a harvest festival, as well, which features bounce houses, slides and a pumpkin patch.

Sept 28–Oct 31: Tue–Fri 1–4pm; Sat, Sun 10am–4pm; $22, children five and under free.

Best known for its apple picking, this Oak Glen orchard also boasts a corn maze set against the San Gorgonio Mountains. You’ll find the three-acre cornfield on the north side of the orchards, near the pumpkin patch and part of the larger Farm Fair (which is full of old-timey activities like candle dipping and hatchet throwing).

Through the end of Nov: Daily 10am–5pm.

Tapia Brothers Farm’s epic corn maze (an entire lot across from the patch itself) comes with a much-needed map and a sheet full of trivia questions.

Sept 28–Oct 4: Tue–Sun 10am–5pm $7–$10
